Happy Halloween!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then here are a million reasons why our Halloween party rocked! We had so much fun seeing everyone, playing games, eating food, taking pictures, singing karaoke, chasing little monsters around (literally), and handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
Our house was transformed from a pleasant home into a spider-web sanctuary where only the brave (and the hungry) dared enter. From miniature pizzas that were shaped like bats, cats, and other scary silouhettes to cupcakes with bubble tape that looked like mummies, we were ready to feed the undead masses.
The costumes were fabulous...although we didn't get a photo of everyone's family, we do have a few to share. Creativity abounded in everyone's costumes, even for those who came as themselves- the Walker's as 'walkers' and the Faucet's as faucets. We dressed up as the Addam's Family. At first, Kinsley asked if she could be a princess, to which Andrea replied: "well, Wednesday Addams is 'kinda' like a princess." So instead of glitter and sparkles, it was flat black hair and white face makeup. In the end, Kinsley was so excited to be Wednesday, that she would ask Mommy every morning if it was Halloween yet and how many more days until she could wear her Wednesday outfit.
We had a great time, as you can see, and we just want to thank all the ghouls and goblins who helped make this party a success.

The photo of Kinsley and Colin is classic. She keeps saying he's so small, but, clearly, he was more than a handful for her. And, Shawn and Andrea, your costumes were fantastic! Huge props!
